CPU Usage

OfficeScan can pause after scanning
one file and before scanning the next file. This setting is used
during Manual Scan, Scheduled Scan, and Scan Now.

Select from the following options:

High: No pausing between scans

Medium: Pause between file scans if
CPU consumption is higher than 50%, and do not pause if 50% or lower

Low: Pause between file scans if CPU
consumption is higher than 20%, and do not pause if 20% or lower

If you choose Medium or Low, when scanning is launched and CPU
consumption is within the threshold (50% or 20%), OfficeScan will not pause between
scans, resulting in faster scanning time. OfficeScan uses
more CPU resource in the process but because CPU consumption is
optimal, endpoint performance is not drastically affected. When
CPU consumption begins to exceed the threshold, OfficeScan pauses to reduce CPU
usage, and stops pausing when consumption is within the threshold
again.

If you choose High, OfficeScan does
not check the actual CPU consumption and scans files without pausing.
